Nepotism is a very controversial subject. Is it really so bad? This article gives some examples of succeed and unsucceed cases of nepotism and points out some comments about this practice. In the cases that it worked, we saw that family members had knowledge, responsibility and qualifications that made them worth the position, but on the cases that it fails the members were not prepared and caused morale problems.
Professionals of Human Resources says that this situation must be address very carefully, for example, it’s not good hiring family members without alerting others in the organization. These members need to be watched and closely controlled.
There are situations that nepotism is impossible to avoid, as in specialized service from family business.
Businessman should take care to do not give promotion to a member of his family less qualified than others members of his company. It includes privilege between co-workers that get marriage.
In a company the family members should work harder than anyone else and prove their worth to others and to themselves. According to the article, nepotism works well if people already have a good grasp on their family relationship in the first place.

Today everybody want to have a public job because it is a steady job mainly. In this case I don’t approve because the best way to guarantee the isonomy and the public moral is through competitions. On the other hand the private sector don’t have criteria to use, always exist indications and bad professionals act freely without any type of fiscalization. I’m against any type of nepotism.
ResponderExcluirI do agree with Rodrigo that in public job nepotism is unacceptable. Sometimes nepotism in private organizations is almost impossible to avoid specially in family companies. I think that the relative hired should prove he/she fills the job and should be evaluated as any other professional in the company. The person could be indicated and I don’t think it is a big problem but at the same time he/she should be qualified and should deserve a promotion for its work not for being a parent.
